Breakfast at Your Desk: Almond-Banana Smoothies

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not ready to switch to hot oatmeal full-time just yet. Feel the same way? As we eek out the last few weeks of (relatively) warm weather, let's give these tasty, low-fat smoothies a shot.

These smoothies are light, delicious, and not too sweet. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add 1/4 cup plain yogurt. Almond milk is a dairy-free product made from ground almonds; it's available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and natural foods stores.

Directions Blend first 5 ingredients in blender until smooth. Divide smoothies among 4 small glasses. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Serves 4. Are you on board with fall smoothies? Have you tried Almond milk? If so, how do you feel about it? Oh, and if you're looking for Sarah, she's got the flu but will be back soon. Feel free to send her get-well wishes below.
